Cassey Carrington and Matt Topham scrimped and saved for small wedding in September

A young couple who were so broke they couldn't afford to buy a wedding cake for their big day have scooped £45million in the EuroMillions draw.

Happy Cassey Carrington and Matt Topham, both 22, have scrimped and saved for their wedding in September.

Money was so tight that when their washing machine and computer broke last week they didn't have enough money to fix them.

Now the couple from Nottinghamshire have became the second pair from the county to win a EuroMillions jackpot of more than £40 million in less than a month.

They banked a staggering total of £45,160,170.50 after matching five numbers and two Lucky Stars in the draw on Tuesday.

Wedding plans: Cassey and Matt are engaged

Iceland supervisor Cassey plans to splash out on an Aston Martin sports car and build her dream house while painter Matt wants to get a helicopter pilot's license.

The couple also want to buy new houses for their parents and pay of their mortgages.

Cassey and Matt follow in the footsteps of Gareth and Catherine Bull, from Mansfield in Notts, who won nearly £41m in the EuroMillions draw on January 20.

The couple, who are now seventh in the list of the largest jackpots ever to be won in the UK, were revealed as the latest winners at a press conference at The Derbyshire Hotel in South Normanton this afternoon.

Miss Carrington said she set up her online account only last Friday because she was feeling lucky.

"I did have a feeling I was going to win," she said.

"The store where I work had won an incentive for delivering excellent sales. We had been presented with £10,000 which was shared between staff.

"After that I just felt like it was my lucky day and decided to get a EuroMillions ticket.

"I got home and set up an account online. The minimum you could put into the account was £5, so I did that and bought one EuroMillions ticket for Friday."

Big fizz: Cassey and Matt spray the bubbly

Miss Carrington said she has only played the lottery about half a dozen times and put the win down to it being "my lucky day".

But the couple's luck did seem to have run out on Tuesday when both Mr Topham's computer and their washing machine broke down within minutes of each other.

Mr Topham, a painter, and Miss Carrington, a supervisor at Iceland in Eastwood, had been working hard to save up for their wedding and said the washing machine was not in the budget.

Mr Topham said: "We were sat in bed when Cassey decided to check her ticket."

The line she originally bought was not a winner so she decided on Saturday to use the remaining £3 to get a single Lotto line for Saturday and the line for Tuesday's EuroMillions draw, which turned out to be the winner.

Miss Carrington, wearing a grey dress with a black belt, told the press conference "it was a bit of a shocker" when they realised they had matched the numbers and had to ring a friend to read out the numbers for them so they could double-check and make sure it was not a joke.
